[Life Intended] Are you in the zone of chaos?!

Published 7 months ago • 2 min read

Hey Reader,

If you’re in your 30s, 40s, or 50s, chances are you’ve felt it—that sense of change in your body and mood that you can’t quite explain.

Maybe you’ve noticed weight gain, disrupted sleep, or even a feeling that you’re just “not yourself.”

Here’s the good news: you’re not alone, and you’re not crazy.

In this week's episode of Life Intended, I had the absolute privilege of speaking with Kelley Maple, a Family Nurse Practitioner and the Chief Medical Officer of Medical Anti-Aging. Kelley and I discuss the chaos of perimenopause—a phase that affects nearly every woman and yet remains so misunderstood.

We talked about hormone replacement therapy (HRT), lifestyle changes, and nutrition strategies that can truly transform the way women experience midlife. Kelley’s approach is rooted in science, compassion, and lived experience, making this an incredibly empowering conversation for women everywhere.

Do me a favor and share this episode with all of your friends! I promise, they will thank you and it will give you LOTS to talk about!

Personally, I was so inspired by this conversation I have an appointment with Kelley myself TODAY!! I’m diving in, ordering bloodwork, and learning more about how I can optimize my health during this pivotal phase of life.

I’ll share what I learn in an upcoming episode because I want all of us to feel informed and empowered to thrive.

Midlife doesn’t have to be about “powering through.” It can be a time of strength, clarity, and self-discovery.

See you back here next week!

Hi Reader, Before I get into this week's newsletter, I wanted to share some personal news. On Sunday, my brother-in-law Mark, passed after a 2 year battle with Stage IV Colorectal Cancer. We are heartbroken to no longer have his presence in our lives, but are so thankful that his fight and suffering is over. The topic of today's newsletter and the podcast this week is Relationships. And I want to take a minute to honor Mark and just say how timely I think this topic is. Relationships were...

Hey Reader, Do you ever find yourself losing it over something small, then wondering, “Uhhhh, what just happened?” Sadie and I have both been there. That’s actually how this week’s conversation started on the podcast: with a story about sunglasses, a slammed door, and very big feelings that didn’t make sense…until they did. Here’s what we’ve both learned on our journeys (the hard way): Most of us were never taught how to really feel our emotions, let alone understand them. We’re taught to...
